Dear Dr. ,

Thank you for helping to bring to light that an atypical exposure to mold may

cause neurocognitive difficulties. For those of us who have experienced

this, yet were told by less enlightened physicians this is an impossibility,

your

writing is breath of fresh air. (pun intended).

Because there is financial liability for stakeholders of moldy buildings when

these illnesses occur, there is strong resistance to getting this

information out to physicians. There is much politics in medicine over the mold

issue.

It is quite frightening for one to be able to feel that something physical is

causing brain fog, yet not only be unable to obtain treatment from

physicians, but in many cases be down right disrespected and laughed at by the

misinformed. Quite often the sick are mistreated with great distain by

unenlightened

doctors. I know of several mothers who have frantically taken their children

from doctor to doctor looking for help, only to be labeled by the medical

community has having Muncheausen Syndrome by Proxy. I even known of a few that

Child Protective Services have stepped in on the advice of misinformed

physicians and attempted to take the sick children from the worried mothers. It

is

a tragic and disturbing situation.

As an illustation of the mindset that fuels the misinfo, below is an April

Fools Day Spoof that is linked to the FDA Website. The jest being made is that

the ex-pastry chef at the White House, Roland Mesnier, has determined toxic

gelatin molds cause memory loss. The spoof is actually written by a board

member of the American College of Occupational and Environmental Medicine and

the

Executive Director of the Assocation of Occupational and Environmental

Clinics. Both are funded to treat environmental illnesses by NIOSH and ASTDR.

These organizations drive much of the national understanding of mold induced

illnesses.

The Spoof was shared via the internet with thousands of health professionals

on April 1, 2007. For those of us who have experienced the devastation at the

hands of such physician mindset regarding " Mold Madness " , this April Fool's

Day spoof by gov't funded occupational physicians groups is about as funny as

Catholic priests writing a spoof of pedaphilia and then putting it in the

Sunday Church Bulletin.
